Why didnt Dooku betray Sidious back ?

j/k

Instinct would at least make you WANT to blurt something out to delay or spare the wrath you were about to face.

Dooku ain't Joe. He's got stronger character than that. In the 7 seconds between Palpatine's order, and Anakin's slicing, even Dooku will be wondering, "WTF's goin' on?"

He knew.

Or rather, "What should I do?"

You're not nobility.

so i guess he didnt soil himself either
thats nice to know

He was nobility, but he was also a Sith Lord, seduced by the Dark side, all that charm and elegance, was just an act, when he was Sith Lord, he was evil, manipulating and ruthless. He authorized use of biological weapon on innocent civilians, he believed, that he was doing god, but i think in his hart he knew what he has become.
And he knew what was going on, he had a talk with Sidious, before the fight and Sidious said he would intervene in case of defeat.

so maybe he DID soil himself

Prolly, according to Makashi.

the Dark Side doesn't change everything in a man like Dooku. Otherwise all Sith are identical, same character.

I didn't say it changes everything, it was still some good left in him.
In Dark Rendezvous, Yoda almost turned Dooku back to the light side and probably he would seceded, if Anakin hadn't come, because of this Dooku become jealous and angry. In Dark Rendezvous he seams to regret turning to the Dark Side, but his pride, to becoming the most powerful jedi, is what holds him to the Dark side and his belief in Sidious.

There was always a risk, talking with Sidious. Sometimes the conversation would go badly, and Dooku would fail to please somehow. It was a terrible thing, failing to please his Master(Sidious).

I have dealt out your deaths, your schemes, your betrayals. I have paid for your war with my time, my riches, my friends, and my honor.»
Dooku to Sidious

Dooku believed in Sidious and to be betrayed like that, he could have betrayed him back, that is a way of the Sith, the Dark side, but i guess it wouldn't suit Dookus character, he is not a snitch.

Maybe by not saying anything Dooku just showed how thuggish and from the hood he was. Snitching above everything else is the most looked down upon thing anyone can do in the streets.

Pour out some liquor for the thuggest Jedi ever, Dooku the O.G.

Dooku: "HEY ANAKIN, SIDIOUS IS SITH LORD, HE SET ME UP, WE WERE GONNA CONVERT YOU BUT HE IS LIE, WE SET UP TWO ARMIES TOGETHER SO HE CAN RISE TO POWER, YODA IS ACTUALLY CHEWBACCAS SISTER, SIDIOUS WILL KILL....BLARGH!!! I'M DED"

Anakin: "stfu n00b"

dooku had gas.......fart3

And I thought the film projector was broken...

But he has nothing to lose, i didn't say that he begs for mercy, if i was in Dooku position and i would knew that Anakin is going to kill me for all the things i done to him, i would at least try to repay Sidious back. Dooku gave Sidious everything and to be repaid like that, i would at least try to repay the favor.

But why bother? If you were in Anakin's position and you heard Dooku say that Palpatine's a Sith Lord, would you believe him? I wouldn't especially after he cut off my arm and caused me and my friends alot of trouble.

Any more talk from Dooku would piss off Anakin enough to kill him.

Yup... and he did.

he knew palp was evil in aotc he says sumet to obi one like the repuplic is under the control of a dark lord of the sith

I do think Dooku shoulda opened his mouth... say anything at that moment to save yer head!

Nope. Not the nobleman's way.

I agree, he should have screamed out the whole story while crying and saying it isn't fun anymore. He'd still get his head torn off though.
